System Integration Validation Engineer - Planar Motion Coordination (GPSSC)

Job DescriptionJob Description:Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Milford, MI three (3) times per week, at minimum.The RoleJoin the innovative and high‑impact Planar Motion Coordination team within Global Systems Engineering, Safety, and Validation as a Systems Integration Validation Engineer. Our team defines and delivers torque distribution (mechanical AWD/4WD, eAWD, eLSD, etc.), traction control, and vehicle dynamics state estimation systems and safety cases that shape how every GM vehicle performs on the road.In this role, you will lead end-to-end integration and validation of these systems across vehicle programs and architecture variants. This includes system-level test case definition, safety/functional/performance/robustness testing via virtual/hardware-in-the-loop (HiL)/vehicle assets, issue identification & resolution, and system readiness assessments.What You’ll DoLead system integration for specific program applications, ensuring system performance meets key program development milestonesEnsure final product meets requirements via direct testing or aggregation of decomposed testsConduct exploratory evaluations and robustness testing beyond requirements to ensure our product meets or exceeds customer expectationsGenerate system development and validation plans that utilize behavioral modeling, Software-In-the Loop (SIL), Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL), and vehicle assetsSetup data acquisition and instrumentation to perform detailed analysis on their outputDefine system-level tests for all integration, automated regression testing, and validation activities for assigned systemsSupport system engineers and system safety engineers during requirement development through modeling, vehicle experiments, and competitive benchmarking.Support cross functional teams with system expertise to ensure coordinated execution and a high-quality resultMinimum QualificationsBachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics or related field of study.2+ years of relevant engineering experience, ideally in automotive vehicle dynamics or propulsionPossess a valid driver’s license and be comfortable performing advanced driving maneuvers such as high lateral acceleration turns or maneuvers on an icy surface.Travel as required (~5%, occasional day trips and 1-2 weeks of off-site winter testing)Preferred QualificationsExperience with vehicle dynamics, vehicle motion controls, driveline systems, chassis controls, calibration, or vehicle integration.Experience with vehicle development, including instrumentation, data acquisition, fault insertion, and test executionExperience with virtual development (MiL, SiL, HiL, DiL) and custom tool development via coding (C, Python, etc.)Knowledge of distributed real-time control systems, embedded software development, automotive networks, diagnostics, Ethernet/CAN/LIN, DTCs, and logs.Experience with GM requirements, validation, evid...
